The Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association (PFMA) is proud to announce its 2014 “Friend of the Food Industry” Award Recipients. This award is presented to legislators who exemplify the values of our supermarket, convenience store and associate members.

“These lawmakers have listened to PFMA members’ concerns during the past year and supported legislation that would have a positive impact on their businesses,” said David L. McCorkle, PFMA president and CEO. “They realize the importance of keeping a strong business climate in the Commonwealth for job growth and economic prosperity.”The association reviewed lawmakers’ voting records on PFMA priority issue bills during the course of the calendar year to select the recipients. PFMA staff members will present the awards to legislators in their offices at the close of the year.

“We are pleased to honor these true ‘Friends of the Food Industry’ this year,” said Alex Baloga, director of government and public relations. “PFMA members appreciate their support on food industry issues. Thank you again to those legislators and their staff who defended and championed our members’ industries this year.”2014 PFMA Friend of the Food Industry Award Recipients...
